Tractors that are worth thousands of dollars may fail at functioning, but the ancient one you're going to see in the video we present you today still works and is better than anything built today.

This steam engine tractor, Advance-Rumely Universal Steam Tractor, is a variation on Advance-Rumely's line which they called a Universal Engine and was made in La Porte, Indiana. It was used to power a trashing machine as well as to pull gang plows. The video you can watch right on this page demonstrates this excellent machine in action.
